When Emperor Xixuan left and the palace became quiet, Xiao Ran sat on the bed, with his hands folded on the quilt, his eyes staring blankly at an unknown place, but in his mind he was thinking about what his father said when he was about to leave. if.
"Ran Er, you are too kind-hearted, this is an advantage and a fatal disadvantage, so from today onwards, you have to make more profit for yourself, don't always think about others, go for what you want, you have the capital It also has this ability, and sometimes it is necessary to use some means, as long as the goal can be achieved, the process is not important.”
"That's why the royal father told you this today to let you know the heavy responsibility you are carrying now, so you must consciously correct your mentality in the future, you are different from everyone, and you will be the whole The controller of the country, you have to look far, no longer focus only on the eyes, kill the Buddha when you meet the Buddha, kill the god when you meet the gods, and all those who stand in your way must be eradicated."
Xiao Ran slowly digested the words of Emperor Xixuan.
Because the royal father made a promise for him that he would put his face into the palace, and because the royal father was the person he admired the most since he was a child, he was convinced of what he said today.
His whole person slowly swept away the depression and loneliness before, his eyes shone with amazing light, and the momentum on his body also changed. The newly enlightened little tiger has its own claws.
If someone stops you, then you can solve it all.
At this time, Emperor Xixuan was on his way back.
"Your Majesty, do you need a sedan chair?" Eunuch Cao asked.
Emperor Xixuan waved his hand, "No need, just walk around."
"Yes."
"Cao Zhi, do you think Ran'er can understand what I mean?" Emperor Xixuan looked at the distant horizon, the sky was clear and misty, and suddenly said.
Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment. He was right next to what His Majesty said to the Fourth Prince in the palace just now. At that time, he really wanted to dig a hole to hide himself in.
Because every sentence he heard was about the secrets of the royal family, about the future of Xixuan, and the choice of the prince, if it were spread out, any sentence could cause turmoil in the court.
Eunuch Cao lowered his head slightly and said with certainty, "This old slave thinks that the Fourth Highness is very smart and should be able to understand it."
Love can make a person grow, and it can also make a person degenerate. He couldn't guess what the fourth prince would become, but when he left the hall, he saw that the aura of the fourth prince had changed. He knew what kind of changes this would bring, good or bad, but he couldn't help but feel for His Royal Highness.
His Majesty is a person who can do what he can say. He received information today that he was extremely angry at what Chu Qingyan had done in Liancheng and on the battlefield before, and thought that King Ying could do such a deceitful thing. In the future, he will definitely commit treason, even treason, and a long time ago, His Majesty had a strong sense of vigilance against the King of England, staring at him all the time, and now this happened, just like the seeds planted before, It finally sprouts, and then it's time to cut the weeds and remove the roots.
Eunuch Cao sighed in his heart. In fact, His Royal Highness King Ying shouldn't have returned to Beijing, he should have walked far.
"Cao Zhi, do you know why I broke the engagement between the two of them?"
Emperor Xixuan's unexpected words made Eunuch Cao very confused, "The old slave doesn't know."
A gust of breeze blew, raising the corner of the dragon robe, and the flying dragon with its teeth and claws on it seemed to be moving through the clouds, and its sharp eyes seemed to be looking down at the bottom. Dare to look directly.
"Chu Qingyan can help Xu'er make plans and lead troops to fight, which proves that she is a very courageous woman. In Xixuan, there are very few such women, who are capable of writing and martial arts, and have the demeanor of a general. Naturally, He is not decisive enough, and there is no one who can give advice, Chu Qingyan is just up to the job."
Although he can't bear Chu Qingyan's crime of deceiving the emperor and concealing the truth, he appreciates her talent very much, and Ran'er likes her very much. With him, as a father and emperor, he will feel at ease. This is also the reason why at the beginning, he did not ask the two of them for the first time.
When Chu Qingyan was betrothed to Xu'er before, I didn't realize there was anything special about this woman, but now I realize that keeping her by Xu'er's side is the biggest scourge.
Although it was a bit unkind to do so, he had to do it for the sake of Xixuan's country and Ran'er.
After Eunuch Cao finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but he couldn't see His Majesty's answer, so he raised his head and looked over.
At this time, Emperor Xixuan said quietly, "You don't need to know this answer."
Eunuch Cao immediately lowered his head, "Yes."
"Come on, go back to the palace."
Ming Huang's figure gradually disappeared.
In the study room of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Xiao Hou is reviewing the ledger recently sent by the store below. Because revenge requires a lot of manpower and material resources, he has a lot of industries under his hands, and the profits he earns are basically used to support his secret organization and support soldiers for thousands of days for a while.
Looking at the thick stack of ledgers in front of him, he suddenly remembered Pang Zhijing's silly smiling face, and couldn't help but have an idea, doesn't this little rogue like money? Just let her take care of it! When she entered the palace, he would hand over all these properties to her, and he could imagine how she would come to him with a sad face and cry.
He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
Thinking about it this way, the head that was a little dizzy after drinking alcohol before, suddenly sobered up a lot, and people are not so tired.
Just as he was about to continue his review, one of the scattered dark threads returned to the mansion and appeared in front of him.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Hou put down the notebook in his hand, frowned slightly and looked at his subordinates. Generally speaking, if there is no major matter, they will not show up easily, in order to avoid being discovered.
"My lord, a batch of weapons that we forged secretly in Qingyang has been exposed. An official led a team to conduct a routine inspection and accidentally found our belongings. Now all the craftsmen are imprisoned in the prison and are facing interrogation. I don't know. Will they keep their word?" Dark Line said worriedly.
Xiao Hou was taken aback, he could be discovered like this, so what the hell are the craftsmen doing below!
"Those officials in Qingyang City are all people of the father and emperor. They can't get in the water and can't clear the relationship. If they are discovered, it will be completely unfavorable to us."
The dark line was a little anxious, "My lord, what should we do now?"
"The people you ordered in Luo Qingyang, let them bring people into the Qingyang Heavenly Prison in person. Be sure to cut the grass and root! But be careful not to be discovered."
Xiao Hou coldly ordered.
Dark Line nodded immediately and stepped back.
If this matter is not handled comprehensively, I am afraid that what he has done over the years will be exposed.
Xiao Hou's eyes were like ink on the table, too thick to melt.
